The Cost of a Slow Network – Partially Down
Examples:
Company A:Number of Employees: 500Average Hourly Wage: $15.00Hours of Productivity Lost per Year: 30Network Slow Cost = $225,000.00
Company B:Number of Employees: 1,000Average Hourly Wage: $18.00Hours of Productivity Lost per Year: 52Network Slow Cost = $936,000.00
Company C:Number of Employees: 5,000Average Hourly Wage: $20.00Hours of Productivity Lost per Year: 20Network Slow Cost = $2,000,000.00
Calculate network slow cost:
Cost = P x W x E
P = Total Number of hours lost Productivity per year (weekly minutes/60 x 52)
W = Average hourly Wage E = Number of Employees

Each day, 323 non-residential structure fires will occur . . . .
Every 5 days, 1 person will die
Each day, 4 people will be injured
Each day, $7.4 million in property damage occurs
Fire Loss in the US during 2002, Michael Kartner, Jr., NFPA Fire Analysis and Research Division, August 2003
NFPA codes and standards represent a set of minimum fire safety requirements for the protection of buildings.
NFPA 90A is responsible for plenum spaces in buildings.
NFPA 90A - Standard for Air Conditioning and Ventilation Equipment:
• Sets requirements for flame, smoke and fuel load
• 4.3.10.2.6 -- “All materials exposed to the airflow shall be non-combustible or limited combustible and have a maximum smoke developed index of 50…”
• Combustible cables allowed as exception (CMP, etc.)
• Requires listing of limited combustible cable
NFPA 70 - National Electrical Code (NEC):
• Does not currently include LCC
• Should correlate with NFPA 90A requirements
• Article 645 permits type CM cable under raised floors in computer rooms under certain conditions
• Requires removal of abandoned cable
NPFA 70 is responsible for plenum cable products and applications.
NFPA 13 Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems
• In sprinklered buildings, use of combustible cables in concealed spaces, including plenums, requires installation of sprinklers in these spaces.
• Use of limited combustible cable does not require sprinklers in these spaces.
• Options: 1. Sprinklers in concealed space
2. Cable in conduit
3. LCC cable (cost effective)
NPFA 13 sets the requirements for sprinklered buildings.
However, in the years that followed, many high profile cable fires still occurred.
Alexis Nihon Plaza - Montreal, ON
“The fire spread horizontally on the tenth floor and traveled through non-fire stopped penetrations for communications wiring …”
October 1986
Fire spread rapidly to 6 floors11 fatalities occurred due to smoke inhalation
“… heat and smoke escaped through the communications wiring openings that had not been fire stopped.”
-- Fire Journal, January/February 1988
However, in the years that followed, many high profile cable fires still occurred. (Cont’d.)
Bell Central Office - Hinsdale, IL
“Fueled by the insulation, the fire quickly spread into the groups of cables in the cable tray and eventually emerged at the top of the cables. The fire was able to travel horizontally both in the confined spaces between cables in the trays and in an open space between the top layer of cables and the ceiling.”
-- NFPA Fire Investigation
30’ by 40’ Fire area$90 Million in damages
17 Day outageCalls disrupted for 4
weeks
May 1988“The smoke and combustion by-products from burning cable insulation penetrated the entire building . . . . irreparably contaminating much of the communications equipment.”
-- From report of Illinois Office of the State Fire Marshall and Illinois Commerce Commission
October 1996
Rockefeller Center - New York, NY
“The fire, reported at 3:59 AM, jumped helter-skelter from floorto floor following the snaking utility products, feeding oninsulation and thick cable-housing and breaking out into office hereand there, fire officials said.”
-- New York Times
However, in the years that followed, many high profile cable fires still occurred. (Cont’d.)

United Airlines Operations Control Center - Elk Grove, IL
August 1999
Years of investigation and research has yielded key lessons learned about the link between fires and cabling. . . .
Ignition source is often electrical failure
Cables can add significant fuel load and spread fire rapidly
Mechanism of fire spread follows cable pathways and spaces
Small fires can create extensive smoke and non-thermal damage
Passive fire protection essentialNew cabling technologies can significantly
reduce vulnerability to fire
Fire Investigations: Lessons Learned
. . . . and has highlighted the leading source of fatalities and damage in a fire -- SMOKE.
Low visibility in an evacuation
Dangerous carbon monoxide
Smoke permeation results in:• Fine particulate carbon and moisture• Current leakage (shorts) which damage or
destroy sensitive electronic equipment• Data loss• Early component failure
The Effects of Smoke
“95% of the fire damage . . . . is attributed to the smoke products and only 5% is caused by the thermal effects of fire.”
-- Network Reliability: A Report to the Nation, FCC 1993

Top Offenders
•Improperly terminated cables•Improperly terminated patch cords•Lengths exceeded specified maximum•Cabling was improperly or not labeled (troubleshooting problems)•Cables run over fluorescent lighting causing interference•Electronics and closets in poor locations (humidity, EM, RF)•Cables bunched to tightly causing the pairs to be flattened•Cables tied to electrical conduits or run too close to Power panels•Cabling that did not pass testing due to various issues•Closet spaghetti•CAT3 cables terminated to CAT 5 – 100M switches•Bent fiber exceeding bend radius•Cables not to spec•Racks not grounded
Top Protocol Issues
• Extra protocols/all protocols being activated on the workstations
• Ports forced to 10Mb half duplex no longer needed
• Packet over-runs• Unknown protocols• Retransmissions• Routing loops or VLAN errors• Mystery devices or devices that should not be
there• High bit error rates

Shared Media ApplicationsWiFi/WLAN • Shared channel to switch• Supports 10-20 users per access point
Network Jack• Provides additional connectivity where another cable
can’t be run• Shared channel from switch to switch• Adds some management features
VoIP or IP Telephony• Some implementations use switch inside phone• Shared media to network switch• HIGH bandwidth demands due to quality needed for
voice
Powered (PoE) Applications (IEEE 802.3af)
Power provided over cabling channel
Can be mid-span (injected power within channel) or end-span (in switch)
Gigabit / end span applications allow for power to transmit on data pairs
10/100 mid span allow power to be provided on non-data pairs
500mA absolute limit, peak allowable current 450mA with a 50mA safety margin (guardbands)
Port voltage of 44V – Maximum 48V
Most resistive allowable cable (20 ohms round trip)
Cable drops an additional 7V when maximum current is flowing and arrives at powered equipment as 37V
37V*350mA = 12.95W (maximum power to a powered device (PD)
PSE (Power Source Equipment) must detect if attached device is standard or powered and drop power if not needed
802.3af (continued)
Endspan PSE (at Switch) can operate at 10/100/1000 alternative A or B or Both
